On the Spanish Leeds blog (with translation for non-Hispanophones): http://spanishleeds.blogspot.com/2011/10/entrevista-luciano-becchio.html
Seems like a top guy, who wants to get promotion with Leeds. He's a modern legend in my eyes and will become an even bigger one if he stays on for 3/4 more years. Btw, did anyone watch the goal he scored for Merida (there was a link to it on the interview), was ****ing brilliant! or '****ing unbelievable' to quote Becchio's post match interview from the boro game.
..and now he's the last remaining player from our League One promotion first team after seeing Snoddy, Johnson and Howson flogged off on the cheap. The only one who we can truly say has the potential to be a hero who's come all the way up the divisions with us in the same way Hull had Ashbee, Swansea had Tate and Norwich have had Grant Holt. Can he achieve that, or would certain Leeds fans still cash in as soon as £££ were mentioned so we could bring in some striker of equivalent ability just because they think keeping stuff the same is boring? I for one hope he stays here for the rest of his career. From the interview above: "Leeds United is a massive club and our target is to get promoted. This club must be in Premier League."

Yeah but you'd probably have sold Billy Bremner for £50k if someone made an offer, thinking you could replace him with someone better.
cash in on him ! wtf ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I think that was one of his customary side-splitting quips. Hope your question mark key's alright after the battering you just gave it! Yeah, shut up you banned bastard.
I wouldn't have cashed in on Bremner because he was actually good Becchio is easily replaceable imo. He has many faults in his game and if we could get 2m I would take that
Interesting he wants to play with Beckford again as all the talk when beckford left was that Becchio could now come out from behind his shadow. Get it done Colin
What a hero. Easily my favourite player since relegation. Just gets on with his job, the way he acts you would think he's just a squad player, not one of the first names on the team sheet. Apparently being a 20 goal a season striker, as well as getting your fair share of assists, and running yourself into the ground every game in service of the team isn't good enough for Josh.
Over 4 seasons his record for goals is 19, 17, 20, 11, and considering he spent a good portion of last season injured and nigh on none of it 100% match fit 11 goals was a remarkable haul. Any other team in the league would kill for a poacher with a record like that, let alone a striker who spent his first two seasons as the 2nd striker to Jermaine Beckford. The one season in which he scored 20 was the one season where he was fit all season and was the main man in attack.
My favourite Leeds Player over the past few years, shame he put on them few extra pounds while injured last year definitely suffered cos of it.
